VIOLENT EARTHQUAKES.
The Whole Of Southern Europe
Shaken.
Many Persons Killed.

Two shocks of earthquake were felt ut
Nice early on the morning of February %.
Houses rocked, walks were cracked, and
tenement houses were thrown to the
ground.
Shocks were also felt at Monte Carlo and
Monaco, at which places they were SO
severe that rocks were detached from the
cliffs and precipitated into the sea. The
disturbance extended as far as Genoa.
At the time of the shocks the Reviera
was crowded with English and American
tourists and persons of distinction. When
the first shock occurred the streets of Nice
were fairly thronged with persons in ball
room costumes returning to their homes
from the last carnival ball OF the winter
season. To these the earthquake came
with peculiar terror
At the same time two distinct shocks were
felt in Toulon. The first shock was of fif-
teen seconds duration and the second of
twelve. The movement was from west to
east. At Cannes three shocks were felt at
shock at Marseiles. The walls of
number of houses in that city
were cracked Shocks were also felt at
Leghorn and Milan and several places in
the Province of Genoa, Italy. The first
shock, which was very violent, lasted for
a minute. The second and third shocks
were not as heavy as the first. Many per-
sons rushed to the seashore for safety.
Nobody was injured.
AT Nice many casualties were caused.
Several houses were destroyed and a num-
Der of persons were buried i'm the ruins.
The whole of the Italian Reviera was dew
astated. At Noli, on the Gulf Of Genoa,
and not far from Savona, several houses
fell and fifteen persons were killed. Six
were killed and thirty injured at Oneglia,
also on the Gulf of Genoa. At Diano-
Marine. near Oneglia, scores of people
were killed and hundreds injured. Fully
Cervo, near Diano-Marino, 800 persons
were killed by being buried In the ruins of
falling buildings. At Turin the churches
suffered severely. In the neighborhood OF
Dordigera many houses fell, killing the in
mates. At Savona eight persons were
killed and fifteen others injured. Immense
damage was done to property.
A second and severer shock was felt at
Genoa, Pavia, Lucca, Cuneo, Albessola,
Porto Manriso, Onegia and Nolis. The
shocks affected wide and eccentric area.
Reports are vague and conflicting, but
seems TO have been no danger in inland
towns.
The Prince of Wales being at Cannes,
the queen became exceedingly anxious con-
corning him when she learned of the earth
quake. Her Majesty at once telegraphed
him. The prince Immediately telegraphed
reassuring reply, saying that he was
we'll and uniniured.
The government, in consideration OF the
popular concern about the safety Of the
prince, have requested him by telegraph
to return to England as soon as he can
conveniently Ito allay anxiety"

frame was well knit, and his step elastic,
his intellect bright and his memory as

1t would seem that such negligence as
resulted in such great loss OF life could
not be other than criminal, but there are
no laws in Clio making such negligence a
crime, and no laws under which such per-
sons can be charged with crime. The YER
dict will cause something of a stir. ana
will probably be the cause of the enact

SIN the house of correction at Detroit
there were on June 80, 1885, pa United
States prisoners confined. To this institu-
ton are committed by the authorities of
the city Of Detroit only offenders against
and violators of the law, convicted of
petty ofenses and sentenced to terms not
exceeding one year. In that institution
the manufacture of chairs Is extensively
carried on, and to such an extent as to
work great injury to the furniture manu-
facturers of that city and state. The
manufacturers who have their capital in
vested manufacturing furniture in Michi-
gan as well as the workmen, complain at
this unjust competition. It is obvious
that were it not for the long term prison
ers in that institution some OF them under
be, as it is, practically ruined, outside of
the prison. 1t Is estimated that one-third
of the prisoners received at the Desroit
house of correction, outside of Wayne
county, are United States prisoners from
other states and territories. The Detroit
house of correction Is a city institution.
and is not on the contract plan. The
United States prisoners are all long
timers, none OF them less than a wear.
and most Of them from five years to life.
Esch United States prisoner represents
days work every working day in the year,
and, in view of their long sentences and
skilled Workmanship, they are kept by the
INSTITUTION without charge to the govern
ment, while any county Of Michigan, in
Guiding Wayne, outside of Detroit, pays a
minimum rate of 81 per week for board.
The labor of the prison is devoted entirely
to chair, cradle and bedstead making. SO
much detriment has resulted to the indus
tries OF that state from the concentration
OF United States prisoners at this institu-
ton that the legislature of the state has
taken hold OF the subject and passed law
absolutely prohibiting the importation of
prisoners to that institution. We think
the time has come when the government
should adopt measures TO take care of its
own convicts. Wherever United States
prisoners are confined in any numbers in
government they work great hardship to
honest enterprise and labor, and are a
profit only to the prison contractors and
authorities.
